Maintenance

If any anomaly is observed or spare parts are required, contact our Technical Service.
The periodical maintenance must be carried out exclusively by an authorized technician.
We would recommend that you have a service carried out every two years by an authorized technician.
Watch the pilot light, which should be stable.
Check to see if it is necessary to change the flexible gas tube. If it proves necessary, obtain a new tube and connect it as explained in “Heater start­ up’.
It is recommended that the cleaning of the device be carried out with the gas regulator closed, the heater completely cold and with nonabrasive products.
The heater must be cleaned with gloves.
When the space heater is not in use, we recommend storing it in a dust-free atmosphere, protected with a cloth or plastic cover in a dry place.

Warranty

All our space heaters have been meticulously checked before leaving the factory. Nevertheless, if any anomaly is observed remember that our extensive Technical Service network is at your disposal. You should read the section, “Before calling in Technical Service” to verify if you can remedy the anomaly yourself.

Before calling in Technical Service
The space heater doesn’t turn on Check to see if there is gas in the cylinder and that the regulator is correctly ccupled in the open position.
Check to see if the flexible tube is properly connected.
Check that the instructions have been followed correctly.
If this occurs after changing cylinders it may be due to:
There is air in the cylinder. Press the ignition button down for a longer period of time until the pilot flame and burner ignite. Then switch to the MAXIMUM position.
The bottle may have been exposed to low outside temperatures. Apply fairly hot wet cloths to the upper part of the bottle to increase gasification and the normal output of gas.
The space heater goes out If it goes out on completing the ignition instruction, repeat the operation, following the instructions carefully.
If it goes out after 30 minutes, it means that it is operating in a poorly ventilated atmosphere. Ventilate the room and reignite the space heater.
If it goes out before 30 minutes of operation, ensure that it is not exposed to air drafts or that the cylinder has not run out of gas.
